The Comrades' Slowest Bus
Shahida is one of the comrades' paces, who are appointed by the race to help groups of runners trying to finish in a certain time./nIn South Africa, these paces are called bus drivers, and the people they pace are their bus./nShahida paces the comrades' slowest bus, made up of runners trying to finish just before the race's 12hour cut-off./nShe's a kind of evangelist for running very slowly, very far./nToday, she's got a little piece of paper tucked into her pocket, telling her what times and distances she needs to hit to come in just under that 12hour mark. Basically, she's aiming to do this like a human metronome, 13-minute miles all day long, no faster, and definitely no slower.
